EMERGENCY

IF YOU SEE SOMEONE IN TROUBLE AT SEA DIAL 999 IMMEDIATELY AND ASK FOR COASTGUARD.The Coastguard will assess the situation and decide which emergency service is required whether it be a Lifeboat, rescue helicopter or land based vehicle.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. We provide, on call, a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service around the UK and Ireland, and a seasonal lifeguard service. With our lifeboats, lifeguards, safety advice and flood rescue, we are committed to saving lives.

Where does your money go?

83p in every pound donated goes to the rescue service. 17p in every pound donated is reinvested to generate more funds.

We need your support

We are independent of the Coastguard and separate from government. 92% of our total income comes from donations like yours.
